Publishing timestamp: 2024-07-01 13:13:59
Summary
The Supreme Court sent back issues around social media content moderation to lower courts for further review, wiping out existing rulings on laws in Texas and Florida aimed at preventing tech companies from banning users over harmful rhetoric. The debate over censorship by social media platforms continues, with the Court arguing that previous rulings did not properly consider the implications of such laws. Laws in Texas and Florida were enacted after former President Trump was banned from Twitter, and Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter allowed Trump to return to the platform.
